We're moving through this series now and only have two more installations to go after this one.

49ers All-Time Defensive End #2
After almost doubling our vote total from last season, Fred Dean has won again, this time with two-thirds of the vote. Although Hardman and Hart had greater career numbers with the 49ers, Fred Dean is definitely one of the truly beloved 49ers. It helped being on the Super Bowl teams as that...
49ers All-Time Defensive End #1
In a not so surprising result, Tom Rathman had an easy victory at fullback over Joe Perry. Plenty of folks are going to be disappointed by that, but as I mentioned in that post, I think the answer is to separate out the all-times by pre-Walsh and Walsh to the present. We'll see how we deal with...

49ers Year-by-Year: 1984
I would like you to enjoy a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers' historic 1984 season. After 1982 and 1983, the 49ers were still a team without a definite or recognized identity as a true league power. They felt differently in their hearts, however, and this will show you how that...

What follows is a brief historical summary of the San Francisco 49ers' 1980 season. Bill Walsh was taking the team into his sophomore campaign. Joe Montana was slowly wresting the starting job from Steve DeBerg. The defense was ... awful. 1980 was a transitional year, as the team shed the last...

49ers All-Time Defensive End #2
After 153 votes, I'd like to congratulate Fred Dean, the first defensive end on our all-time team. While Cedrick Hardman and Tommy Hart put up better career numbers, Dean is definitely a favorite among 49ers fans. He had an impressive impact on some of those 80s championship squads and that...
